The sheet metal formed in between decking joists, prior to installing decking, seems like the best idea for waterproofing the space under that I've seen. I think the only way to make this work is to make sure the deck slants 1/4"/foot away from the house for proper drainage. If the deck was slanted less than that, the sheet metal forming would need to get progressively deeper away from the house, which would make the metal bending more complicated and cost more than if all way bent the same way. I'm going to built a deck above a walkout patio door next summer. I was looking at locking aluminum decking but the cost is really steep. Other alternatives are either using something like roofing membrane, which looks bad underneath as the membrane sags between joists or the many under deck solutions that looks like a lot of neck wrenching work. My deck will be 11' off the ground. I'm seriously thinking of drawing up a galvanized sheet metal profile and sending out to local sheet metal shops for a quote. I can always paint the underside of the metal before installing. I'd use joist flashing tape over the metal edges on the joists and that should seal well even with nails and screws going though the flashing when installing.

Great idea just a couple suggestions, 1) someone already brought up the point of the non galvanized nails and the pressure treated lumber and the problems that will eventually arise but the pressure treated lumber will cause the metal to deteriorate also, I would put a peel and stick tape like what you use around windows between the 2X4s and the metal to keep the lumber from reacting with the metal. 2) find a metal roofing company with a 20’ brake and they can make your trim in solid pieces so you don’t have to overlap. Again great idea I’ll use it myself thanks guys

Second the idea of putting down the adhesive membrane first. That will isolate the metal pans from the p.t. wood ( along with the other benefits of protecting wood if there is any standing water on it). Still have to deal with fasteners. Could use copper roofing nails to secure it, but then have galvanic reaction problem between copper nail and metal pan. Could just hold the pans in place with 2nd application of flashing tape? Better yet, make the pans out of copper instead of sheet metal ( what are you guys, a bunch of cheap skates 😂🙄).

With the metal under the decking I have to wonder if that will also clog with debris then back up toward the house? Working on a flat roof leak under a sleeper deck as I type here. As I see it, the only thing you might gain is a few extra years on the roofing material due to no UV issues. My roof is 35 years old right now and even with PT wood that also splits / warps with time so needs replacement every 20 years or so.... even when stained for extra protection.

I expect the metal will self clean a bit better however, the triangular sluice will concentrate water and the texture of the metal is smoother than the rubber, making the flow velocity a bit higher to better carry sediment away. Also, there isn’t the same nook and cranny problem where sediment will build up in the 90 deg corners of the sleepers. I would be curious how this system weathers with time.

Great question. Very possible. The deck screws help a little bit, but it is wood, and it’s an imperfect system. We try to avoid using PT straight off the shelf, and give it some time to dry, because the dryer it is the less it will move. A week of drying will weed out some of the crappy boards. The grain will give hints on how the wood is going to move, but time is the best judge. Hope that helps

What's the flashing material? Isn't there an issue with flashing and pressure treated lumber?

How do you keep the floating pressure treated 2x4s from not deteriorating? Since if any water gets into the epdm, it'll be soaking in that water for a long time? Thanks! great channel

Treated lumber will last for 40 years and I bet it will last even longer because it is well protected and will get good sunlight to dry it. Thanks for your question and thanks for watching!

I like the idea but using a hidden deck fastener system means you can just easily pull up individual decking to remove debris and wash out in minutes....this seems like there's significant downsides. Wind uplift issues and now an additional layer of complexity to get to the underlying membrane for repair and maintenance.

i know everyone is a critic, but what is stopping that second story deck from being picked up and carried away if every thing is sitting in sleepers and your sleepers are fastened to the roof deck. On top of that how are you supposed to fasten the railing posts down. I'm a deck builder in Minnesota and do some pretty custom work often including drainage systems on decks. The last deck I did had a full board board and batten ceiling and we used the Trex RainEscape system and had left the ceiling open for 2 weeks after the install to inspect our work and make sure we had zero leaks before we buttoned it up. That system works beautifully, only had on leak and it was on the back left corner between the ledger and 1/4" gap between from one of 2 ply rim-joists being cut a little short. Some butyl caulk and it never leaked again. People have used the same basic principles of this system with EPDM pond liner and 3" joist flashing tape and have received the same if not sometimes better results. I don't mean to sh** on your work but there are much better ways of achieving this result and probably for less cost.

If you let the slepers dry and seam taped the metal drain pans you'd effectively have a 2nd roof. and prevent any rot from getting into the sleepers.

You need to insulate contact between non galvanized metal and pressure treated lumber. Galvinezed 1 1/4 nails and another layer of tape over the sleeper before installing the stamped drainage steel would extend the life of this system to the claims made. 👍

Scorpio ... they are called sleepers because they do NOT attach to the building. Basically it's a floating deck.

Rubber roof has a slight pitch to it. Sleepers are not attached to the rubber roof and are spaced 12 inches on center. The metal flashing pans are nailed to the sleepers which keeps them spaced properly. We then put flashing tape over the top and then screw the decking to the sleeper only.

@@Sweenorbuilders code in this area doesn’t specify the deck needs to be attached to the roof? I’m just think of wind; but maybe the air gaps are too small for that to be a concern? Thanks for clarifying! Happy Holidays!

What about electrolysis with the copper in the PT and the electro galvanized metal. I like the idea it's so simple yet effective. I feel like the PT needs a membrane to separate it from the metal. Would be interesting to pull it in 5 years and see how it's doing.

On the decking. Why don’t you use a simple system like Eterno Invica? (easy access) Is there a USA equivalent? Also, I’ve never been a big fan of rubber roofs. When you have spent half your working life surveying & maintaining buildings of all different types. This roof system is the costliest when it goes wrong; too easy to puncture. I’ve organised many repairs over many years on different brands of single membrane roof coverings all over the UK. Maybe that is why the video commentator mentions the the point of gaining access if there is a water leak. What made him say that? 30 years of experience? As a suggestion, use a hard wearing thicker reinforced bitumen flat roof product or roll on glass fibre system in the first place. They are harder wearing & more cost effective in the long run. Who wants to dig under nailed down linear sheeting buckling them in the process & trying to relay them? Also, treated timber only lasts externally say, 15-20 years (depending on environment) You know what it’s like in the construction game; tips to help each other. Jeff, good luck to all your team. p.s.(Quality video presentation) 👷‍♂️

That is a very awesome detail for roof drainage under a deck. Simple and even washable from the upper deck, nice work. Agree with the others. Taping is a good idea on top of those PT members. Also is there any potential for strong wind to lift and rattle that floating system? Thanks for the video, subscribed.
